EDWIN HAAS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

SlRUP-FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,026, dated September 17, 1889.

A Application filed May 10, 1889. Serial No. 310,306. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWN IIAAS, a citizen soda-water apparatus, which shall supply a given limited and predeterlnined amount of the sirup at each opening of the faucet.

To this end I have constructed my device in the manner described in the following` specification, and with the novel features particularly'set forth in the claims at t-he end of the same.

In the drawings, Figure l is a central longitudinal vertical section of the bottoinof a Sirup-jar with one of my faucet-plugs attached. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of my plug in a modified form.

A represents one of lny Sirup-jars, having a downturned neck A', which is interiorly screw-threaded, as shown. B is my plug, adapted to screw into said neck, and provided with shoulders B', abutting against the outer rim of said neck when in place. The top B2 of the plug is provided with a central aperture of considerable diameter. The bottom of the plug has two apertures B3 and B4, and has a depending bracket or swivel B5 in front of said apertures. Through the rear of these two apertures there projects a sleeve C, made preferably, as shown,with two beads C, for

, the better securing of the rubber envelope of the sleeve C2. 'This rubber envelope protects 'the whole sleeve from contact with the sirup and keeps the same clean. Through this sleeve there extends a stem D, upon the top of which is borne a cross-piece D having a depending stem D2, provided at its lower end with a plug, preferably of rubber, D3. This plug is intended, as shown, for the stoppage of the aperture B3.

From the middle of the cross-piece there rises the post D4,sur1nounted by the plug D5,

intended for the stoppage of the aperture in the top of the plug, as shown.

Pivoted to the bracket B5 there is a lever E, which is also pivotally fastened to the end of the stem D, as shown at E4.

At theback of the leverEthere is a weight E', which tends to keep the lever normally depressed, for the purpose of keeping the aperture .B3 closed.

As shown in Fig. 1, there is a depending bail E2 extending from the weight or the vicinity of the same, and so disposed that upon pushing a glass against the same the lever will be raised and with it the plug within.

In Fig. 2 is shown another form of my device, wherein E3 is a forward-extending arm so disposed that by pressure thereupon the faucet may be opened, as shown.

The operation of my device is as follows: Upon raising the stem D by means of the lever in either of the ways indicated above the cross-piece, stem D3, and post D4 are all raised together, and the effect is evidently to open the lower aperture B3 and close the upper one.

Thus the sirup which was in the plug B is allowed to escape through the aperture B3 into the glass beneath, while the upper plug or stop D5 prevents the further entrance of sirup into B. Wheh the stem D is again lowered, the iow of the sirup into the glass is stopped and more sirup is allowed to flow into the plug B. Thus a given measured quantity of sirup may be extracted at each application of the glass to the bail or at each recurring touch of the front lever E3.

When it is desired to vary the amountvof sirup to be extracted at each application, supplementary washers F (shown in dotted lines in Fig. l) are added to the post D, and thus there is less volume left in the hollow of the plug for the occupation of the sirup. These washers can be renewed at will, and as many employed as may be desired.

I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the exact construction shown and described in all the details of the same, as there may be various modifications of the same made without departing from the spirit IOO tom of said plug, and a stem projecting through said sleeve andbearing a stop forthe closing of said .ftperture, substantially as described.

2. A hollow plug ot the character described, having' an aperture at the top thereol", and an exit-aperture at the bottom, in combination with a sleeve extending into said plug, a stem passing through said sleeve, and two stops on said stem, one oii' said stops closing said upper and one said lower aperture, substantially as described.

A hollow' plug having a top and a bottom aperture, in combination with a sleeve extending into the same, -a cross-piece borne upon said sleeve, a plug on said cross-piece disposed to close the upper aperture, and a depending plug on said erossspieee for the purpose of closing the lower aperture, substantially as described.

l. A hollow plug adapted to be screwed into the bottom of a jar, and having atop and a bottom aperture in combination with a sleeve covered with rubber extending into said plug, and a stem projecting through said sleeve and bearing a stop Vfi'or eaeh olf said apertures, snlr stantiall)v as described.

5. Aholhwplugoi' the character described, having an upper and a lower aperture, in combination with a Stem bearing an upward-extending post bearing a stop for the upper aperture and a valve lor the lower aperture, and washers adapted to be placed upon said posts, subst'antiall);v described.

(3. A pl ug ot the character described, having an upper and a lower aperture, and a sleeve extending intothebottom tlie1'eot,said sleeve being covered with rubber, in combination with a stein passing through said sleeve, a post extending upward and borne upon said stem and bearing a stop for said upper aperture and a valve for the lower aperture, and supplementary washers adapted to be placed upon said post,substantially as described.

'7. A hollow plug ot' the character described, having an upper and a lower aperture, and a sleeve extending into the same, in combination with a stem, passing through said sleeve, a post on said stem bearing a stop for said upper aperture, a depending stem bcaring a stop for said lower aperture, and washers adapted to be placed upon said post, substantially as described.

S. A hollow plugot' the character described, having an upper and a lower aperture, and a sleeve extended into said plug, in combination with a stem passing through said sleeve and bearing a stop foreach of said apertures, and a lever pivoted to the bott-oni et said plug, pivotally attached to said stem and provided with a weight and a fo1wvard-1wojecting arm, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I all'ix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
